hello, it seems that you have the same problem , that I had before, Ok I can help. did you make it by your self, or bay it? I want to know i you are programming it for the first time, or you ordered it already programmed, and you want to upgrade it? regards samir
I forget the original question I'm sorry Blake , I think you have to install the right and the exact ftdi driver for your Mas OS, you can't just install a random one, because it can make a compatibility issue a gain see this link https://learn.sparkfun.com/ftdiDriversMac Best regards Samir
you're welcom Blake, so it is clear that you miss something on your mac OS, did you installed the FTDI driver for your mac computer, because without a driver , Bus pirate will not be communicate with your computer, see this link : https://learn.sparkfun.com/ftdiDriversMac try different usb ports on your computer to make sure that it is not a usb hardware issue on your computer.Maybe this problem is because of incompatibilty or the complete absence of FTDI driver on your Mac OS. best regards Samir
Hello, Blakec Well you can use another computer which has windows on it , if the bus pirate can't be detected as new device on this new computer , so the FTDI most likely the problem, if it will work on windows , so you miss something on your Mac computer. Using those tips at least you will find out if you have a working bus pirate or not, and based on that you will know what you have to aim on, this is it. I hope this will help you little bit, if you try that ,please share the result here , to allow as learning something from your experience. Samir Best regards
